    Hotels are under increased scrutiny to show how they are contributing to the betterment of their surrounding communities in the areas of environmental sustainability, community participation, and ethical business practices. The purpose of this study is to investigate the meaning of "social responsibility" in the hospitality business, and to analyze the techniques used to evaluate hotels' effects on their surrounding neighborhoods. Hotels' commitment to social responsibility may be gauged in part by looking at how they treat the local community, how they treat their employees, and what kind of environmental impact they have. Hotels may reduce their negative effects on the environment and improve the quality of life in their communities by using sustainable operating methods. In addition, hotels may contribute to the area's economic and social growth by forging partnerships with local businesses, launching charitable campaigns, and hosting cultural exchange programs. The hotel industry's rapid rise has had far-reaching consequences for the local ecosystem and population. Due to the nature of the hospitality industry as a for-profit business, hotels are held to specific community service duties. The results of this research show that running a hotel may have both beneficial and negative effects on the local population and its natural surroundings. Attracting visitors, creating jobs, supporting infrastructure development, and providing economic possibilities for the host community are all ways in which hotels may play an important part in the development of their host towns.
